Dear Mark:
It is difficult to say for sure. The Classical teaching is that treatment is surgery followed by radiation. In some cases Chemo can help, especially with the advent of new chemotherapeutic agents. If chemo is being offered you should find out more about the details especially the type and evidence supporting its use.
Good Luck!
